What Our Customers Are Saying

We know our custom publications rock. Don’t just take it from us, let our customers do the talking!

Thanks for the updated Tech Rescue Guides. Graphics just get better and better and provide really clear, simple examples for SAR teams. Other things I think are big improvements are the move to the alpine butterfly for connecting the stretcher and the vector force diagrams vs the old tables. I use these a lot with the teams to get them thinking about forces in the system. As always, beautifully presented Grant. Nice one.

What is a drawing in the Custom 20 and Custom 50 offer?

A drawing is a 2D object that is usually a single object that is represented digitally using Adobe Illustrator.

A single drawing can also be multi-stage sequence of a simple object. A good example of this would be tying a knot. It may a 3 or 4 step sequence however we consider this one drawing for the purpose of the Custom 20 and Custom 50 offers.

We try to give you value for money and wish to work with you to get your ideas and concepts into reality. Feel free to contact us and chat about your ideas.

What is the editing service?

We have an editing guru Nola who is great to work with. She can help you with spelling, grammar, structure and keeping a consistent voice throughout your publication.

What is the printing service?

There is quite a bit to think about when taking your publication to print and we can take care of it for you. We will work with you to get your specifications sorted (e.g. size, paper, binding) ready for a quote. We then go through proofing, print approval and printing. If you live locally we highly recommend you turn up on the day of printing to check everything is coming out as you expected. Note: we use a Chirstchurch, New Zealand based printer.

What is the photography service?

Often the thing that makes the best publications are the photos. This could be gear, people and landscapes. If you have a number of different shots you need then our legendary photographer Matt can come to your location and get the shots you need. He will be in touch before shooting to plan out what you need and the best approach. As well as taking the photos there is post production work on Photoshop or Lightroom to get the best result possible for you. Check out Matts work here http://www.mjdphotos.com
